April 15 - 20

Mon: 5 miles tml.  Hill w/o.  39 min.  Warm up 2 incline @ 7.5.  M2 3 & 4 incline.  M3 5-8.  M4 8 incline.  M5 4 & 2.  Last bit up to 8 and 8.5 mph.

Tue: 7.08 outside.  New shoes!  Forget how good they feel!  Ran M1 @ 7:05.  Didn't get rained on until the end.  Wore running shorts... chafed!  52:26 (7:24).  Boom!  That feels good!  Was going to go 8, however my inner thighs were on fire!

Wed: swim only.  1800 m.  this is a good week for me!  this is the fastest I've swam.  I did this in about the same time I normally do 1400.  I'm trying to not stop in between laps.  I don't do kick turns or anything fancy.  The stopping to turn around is not like continuous swim in a lake!  I'm trying to do better at no breaks in between.  It's challenging to try to slow my pace down in the water.  If I go too fast for myself I can't breathe and that is a challenge when your face is in the water!!!  This was a good week though...

Thurs: 4 outside.  My legs are a little fatigued.  4 was fine for today!  30:06 (7:31)  Again M1 was 7min.  Again w/ the wind, BUUUUUT it felt like spring today... finally!

Fri: Wanted to run, but needed a rest.  Ideally I will get a run and a swim in on Wed, so I can rest Thurs.  I like to run the day before my long runs.  Not this week though.

Sat: 13 miles.  Did 10 outside in the yuck wind and cold.  Last 3 on treadmill so M could take G to baseball.  Since it was only 3 I pushed my time on the treadmill.  I ran M1 @ 7.7, M2 @ 8, M3 moving up to 9.3mph.  My tml time was 22:19 for the 3 miles (7:26).  My first 4 were 31:46 min (7:56).  My next 4 were 31:35 (7:53).  My next 2.13 were 17:07 (8:02)  Overall time outside 1:20:29 (7:56)
